USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
London serves as the focal point of this 1950s topographic study, showcasing the city's mid-century layout including Sue Bennett College and the State Sanatorium. The landscape is a complex intersection of natural drainage and industrial activity, characterized by the winding South Fork Rockcastle River and numerous Strip Mines that mark the hillsides. The influence of the Louisville and Nashville railroad is evident, anchoring settlements like East Bernstadt and Pittsburg to the regional coal and timber corridors.
